**************************************************** Special issue of JVGR on "Volcanic Risk Perception" **************************************************** From: Jean-Christophe Gaillard <Jean-Christophe.Gaillard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, Christopher Dibben (University of St Andrews, UK) and myself, JC Gaillard (Université Joseph Fourier, France), are preparing a special issue of the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research on "Volcanic Risk Perception". The envisioned volume shall compile articles from the Anglo-Saxon and French research communities and hopefully from other parts of the world. It shall encompass a large array of geographical contexts including Latin America, North America, Europe, the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Hopefully, it shall serve as a reference material for future research in the field of volcanic risks. Some Australian, New Zealander, American, British and French authors have already expressed their interest for this project and commited to submit an article. We invite more authors to submit a manuscript to this volume. Papers should deal with volcanic risk perception and closely related aspects such as the influence of the larger context on perception and the implications in terms of volcanic disaster management. The time schedule that shall be strictly adhered to is the following: - Initial submission of manuscripts: 31 October 2006; - Deadline for reviewers reports: 31 December 2007; - Submission of amended manuscripts: 31 March 2007; - Submission of the recommended set of papers to the editor-in-Chief of JVGR: 31 May 2007 - Publication: Late 2007 Of course, it will be best to receive your manuscript earlier. Each paper will be reviewed by two to three international specialists. The manuscripts should not exceed 10,000 words inclusive of reference list. You may find all the details regarding the publication at: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/503346/description Please, send a preliminary title and name of the authors to <jean- christophe.gaillard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> or <cjld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> before April 30.
